@MasterOfTheTige from where did you come to know of the new criteria of IIM admissions ?

@fardon your academics are just fine , a 96+ will get you a call from A,C , can't say about B , 99.5+ is for people who don't have an exceptional score in their grads

Thank you so much.

so u mean, for a candidate having 2 yrs of work-ex, the cut off percentile does not get low, compared to a fresher??

@audaciousrichie

wat can possibly be the cut-off in iims if one has 2 yrs of work-ex as an accountant?
I hav done my graduation from xaviers-bcom and by the time i get admitted, i'd b having roughly 2 yrs of work ex as an accounts executive in a clearing agency...my work consisted of recording of financial transactions.....so wat cut off could i expect, considering my work ex??
pls help frnds

hi
can any kind person(friends/seniors) throw some light on it(my query)........
i am an appearing candidate.i.e,btech final year..suppose by luck i get into an iim(which is yet uncertain)
iims ask for all marksheets and provisional certificates by 31st dec 2013 and they say without these within the specified time the admission will stand cancelled.......how far is it true......bcoz i have some backlogs and need some time to clear it and after clearing those papers i can be able to produce provisional and marksheets of my b.tech and this may be around 6 months i.e. june2014....so will the iims co-operate with it ? any person if with same situation and knows the answer....or any way for it..

@audaciousrichie As much as i know they will not consider your work experience they it will only consider managerial roles work experience

@satana Can u tell some other colleges for marketing..

hey people, recently i was checking a document published by iim cal
(admission criteria for 2012-13, pgdm, pgdcm) which states that only managerial work experience will be taken into account and not internships, project works, etc....
well, i am a bit confused as to what the term 'managerial experience' means in this context.
currently, i am working in a reputed MNC for over 2 years in the finance department, although i am not a manager in the department.
so, wil my work experience be taken into account even though i am not a manager??
please reply

Hello puys, be frank is it possible or not to get into IIM A, B or C without work-ex or just after engineering?

with -
10th-82.8
12-73.6
grad(till 3rd yr).-70% b.e. in E.C. still a year to go
gave Cat attempted around 40 ques which colleges should apply

which is the best course study material for CAT 2011?

thejedimaster2 Says

So is my IIM "dream" all but over?

dude get it clear
u wanna an IIM or a good quality MBA?
the names mentioned besides IIMs are as good as IIMs(like XL,FMS)
and incase u want an IIM and not an MBA den still 99.6+ is wat u gotta score

thejedimaster2 Says

So is my IIM "dream" all but over?

Dude
as discussed get a 99.6+ and u still have a dream on
however rem what is ur end target , MBA abd the institute u want to do an MBA from is only a means.
lets say ur inetrested in HR target XL.It doesnt look much at acads.XLRI -HRM is better then wat most IIIMS can offer
if ur intesretd in marketing go for FMS. it gives 65% weightage to written score .
if cutoff is 400 get a 430 and ur almost there.You wont compromise much if ur going to FMS.
If u want to do operations NITIE is as gud probably better then a few IIMs.
U get a 98+ in cat and u ll get a call from NITIE


point being IIMs are not the end all and u have to find out alternate ways which are not neccesarily inferior.
do some smart thinkong and analysis and u ll figure ur way out

So is my IIM "dream" all but over?

just to give you an idea i dnt get an IIM call.. I was expecting I,K and Rohtak call because of workex

X - 76.2%
XII - 75%
UG - 73%

WorkEx - 30 Months

Cat - 98.5 percentile :oops::oops:

Now with my kind of profile which is same as yours the only calls possible are IIM C,L and new iim's that to only if one score more than 99.61 to be precise. Xth score alone cant do much for you..

But if you score > 99.8 percentile then IIM C & L you should manage even without workex.

But on the brighter side with this kind of preparation and such percentile one can target colleges like

MDI
NITIE
XL
FMS
IIT's
IIFT
SIBM
NMIMS

All these colleges give calls only on the basis of entrance score.. IIM's means a lot but not everything.

Dont loose hope , I know 85% in btech is near to impossible , thats why they ask for it from a fresher. you have a good profile overall and plenty of time to prepare ,

Prepare hard , try to add in some extra curricular to your profile and good workex and no one can stop you.

do u even know what u are talking abt??have u seen the criteria of shortlisting of IIM's..extra currics, work-ex etc dont matter , and there is no distinction between grad marks of fresher or work ex guy.

Bhai, do well in your final yr engineering and score as much as you can in CAT.
That's the only thing within your control.

We can NOT change the selection criterion set by the IIMs. And the IIMs may also change their selection criterion in future, for better or for worse!!!

Yes, this year was really shocking. I have personally suffered this year.

If this year's trend is followed, with your current profile (i.e., as a fresher or someone with less than 2 yrs work-ex) you will NOT get a call from A, B, I, K, S, even if you score 100 perecentile.

Cheers

EDIT: Knowledge, extra-currics all these come into play after you get shortlisted. So those are secondary!!!

hi dude
adding 2 watever the guy above me has said
at ur score u will not get into iim a/b even after 3-4yrs of workex,even if u score 100%ile
sad but true:drinking::drinking:

the only iim u can try even as fresher is IIM-C and R(ranchi):cheerio:
They only look at Cat score nothin else,but having said dat,u will have 2 score really high,99.6+:lookround:

Well in one of the other threads, I saw someone quoting something to the effect of "with 70% acads you CAN in fact get into IIM-A but by scoring a high percentile along with good knowledge about stuff", However the same quote also read that it's impossible to get into IIM-B,L & K with the same acads...

As it stands, I'm pretty much new to this stuff and I appreciate any suggestions from people like you...

Would you drive a 25 lakh BMW 3 series just after reading its manual without taking any practical lesson? before taking up a MBA from IIM A,B you should earn good workex or try to score 99.9999%ile.

I dont want to be mean , but looking at your acads with just 73% in 12th and 70% in Btech wont get you seat in any IIM ( as per CAT 2010 evaluation ) schedule if you're a fresher,

I am not faking, just look around and consider some cutoff criterias of IIMs ( ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ). and you'll know what I am talking about.

To fulfill you IIM dream you should give it a shot only after 3-4 years of hefty workex ,it'll increase your score for second round evaluation and help you to clear cutoff.

I am a fresher myself and really pissed off at the IIM evaluation criteria that is being used this year . Meri baat maan yar fresher MBA is not a wrong thing even I m trying for that , but your marks as a fresher are much lower than they expect , most of the IIM want 85% above in Btech and 85% in 10th and 12th . IIMs are not the only Bschools we do have other top Bschools like XLRI or IITs. usme try karo . DO give JMET AND XAT along with CAT dont forget FMS :)

Thanks for the info friend... Hmm... 85% above in B.tech is way too high in my opinion considering how they evaluate in the University I belong to... Pretty much unrealistic if you ask me... Anyways, I will give it a shot anyway... If I don't make it, (which is pretty much probable from your reply) I'd buy some experience working in some company and then hit back at it...
